    Steering Wheel Vibration

    Hmm, thats what i was thinking, but wouldn't you hear it tapping against it? Unless its pressed up against the shaft pretty hard, catch my drift? I would make sure all my bolts, etc were tight and in place, sounds to me like stuff is really loose down there. Probably a combination of...

And the toggle switch is in-adequate also, when the fan is running you can feel it heating up, etc. I wanna up grade the switch and the wiring while my dash is out.

    now lower to the ground

    my car is lowered 2" and i have pretty bad bump steer, but i have skinnies up front also. Im raising it back to stock ride height. I've traded paint with about every speed bump, high driveway, pothole in town. Not worth lowering it to me. Traction went down the drain to. My car came that way...

    what carb????

    I would just smooth them out gently, dont make the ports any bigger. Gasket match it and use a carb spacer if you have the hood clearance. Other than that, those flow pretty good out of the box for a street car. As far as polishing it, just take some red scotch pads and go over all the ports...

    Engine Ground question

    I posted this in my other thread also....sorry... But i was just simply wondering if the engine ground isn't sufficiently connected,if that alone could cause a mis-fire condition? Ive had this bad, re-accuring mis-fire condition for about 5 months now and its starting to just piss me off...

    Nasty screeching noise at start up!!

    Agreed. But before you torque it down, take it off the bell housing and look the gear over on it. If the teeth are chipped up or some are missing, replace it. My buddy had a starter gear that was so eaten up it wouldn't even turn the flywheel over. All the teeth on it were worn down and broken...

    if i put on a blower, will the stock tranny need to be replaced soon?

    just baby it around and save up for a tremec. If you run it, its going to break. With stickier tires and a grippier clutch it'll break sooner, just take it nice and easy. Dont get on it, it only takes once to mess up a sycro or bend a shift fork, then your screwed. In fact, buy the tremec...
